There are some days when I can eat premium chocolate daintily and savour every bite. I take my time, letting it melt in my mouth and swallow with a little satisfied sigh. Alternatively, there are some days when I just want to scoff the lot and root about for more. As my little friend can attest, we all know which mood I’m in today! Basically, line it up and watch it go! I always say my body is a temple. It’s a shame that my shirt has a more accurate description 😉

You know the scene, don’t deny it because we’ve all been there. One too many glasses of wine (or your favourite beverage) and all of a sudden you’re a Karaoke Diva! Grabbing the microphone from others, flirting on stage, heck even blowing kisses to the embarrassed, more sober partner in the corner. Yep, that’s me and a night where I turned every Shania Twain song into smut has etched itself into my memory. Ahhhh, happy times 😀

It isn’t often the Mister talks fashion…willingly…with me. Usually, if I get him within spitting distance of a shop or event inworld, I get a multitude of unimpressed “pfffts” in my ear along with a few choice words. So, when I showed him this jumpsuit and chatted about matching heels (Sheba…you can’t go wrong with these little gems!) he was surprisingly chatty on the subject.

ChicModa: it’s official. The Mister likes the ruffles along the leg. The Mister likes the colour choice hud (available as a fatpack). You get a gold star. Cherish it well because these things are rarer than rocking horse poop (a choice phrase).

I also tried Powder Pack for the first time this month as it is the anniversary edition. I’m impressed with the range of options in each pack: a multitude of makeup, lashes, brows, eyes and skins. All fatpacks. We all know how much a fatpack of skins alone can cost; that’s a small fortune in itself, so to get another 11 items in the pack is a good deal to me. The other thing I like about Powder Pack is that it’s available on Marketplace and you buy for your specific mesh head type. No more ditching half the stock because it doesn’t fit, which I know has been a bugbear with clothing boxes in the past. All in all, hats off to you Powder Pack. I may well buy again in the future 🙂

The candy cane *obviously* you naughty little minxes! Cue an over dramatic eye roll and a little smirk, hidden behind a hand.

As we approach the end of one year and celebrate the beginning of a new one, I’ve used the quiet time to sneak around a few events that are still going on inworld. Be quick though, because there are only a couple of days left. The Imaginarium is a part sale, part gacha event that is well worth checking out. It is also organised by Gimme Gacha Productions and if you are a group member there are gifts available too.

The Trunk Show is still in full swing if you’re looking for something wedding/formal inspired (NYE gown, anyone?) for a party in the next couple of days. My nails and makeup are from the event and with nails like these….they’ll definitely leave scratch marks down anyone’s back.

Finally, I snuck over to Ricielli for their Christmas hunt this week and had a lot of fun hunting for some beautiful clothes. There is a hunt key at the store entrance, showing the body types and prizes you can find. Each box is 15L but you can buy a trans / no trans version of each, which is perfect for gifting. I love that option in a hunt, especially if I see something I want to gift to my BFF who has an Hourglass body. One for her and one for me.

On that note, I hope you all are feeling rested and ready for the new year. Like it or not, time moves forward and 2019 is gonna smack our tooshies soon enough. Until then, party on and keep sucking those candy canes 😉

We all have a chance to shine. We choose how brightly (or dimly) we shine in life and in turn, our choices and actions cause others to shine too. I intend to shine brightly next year and I hope you do too x

I love reading. It’s an activity I’ve enjoyed since I was a little girl, often reading in the car…in the dark…getting told off by my mother! I’d read anything I could get my hands on, losing myself in the characters and their stories. As a teen, I attempted writing; often poetry, often depressing, but a learning experience nonetheless.

Even now, I’ll take a book to bed and just read for hours. More recently, I remember reading The Kite Runner for six hours straight. I didn’t put it down until I’d finished it, even though it was 2am and I was tired.

At the moment, I’m reading Stephen King’s “The Dark Tower” series and after a year, I’m finally on the penultimate novel (book six of seven). Let me tell you, THAT has been a labour of love but a superb read nonetheless. Knowing Mr King, I’m wondering if the ending will leave me aghast or annoyed, but we’ll see. That’s part of the fun of dipping your toe into another person’s world and seeing where their imagination takes you.

Anyone who knows me knows I adore music. Love it. Live it. Breathe it. There are lots of brilliant quotes about how music is what feelings sound like. A quick google will find a plethora of them. I love to discover music in new places, whether it’s a tv show, an advert, movie score. Often I’ll be found shazam’ing clips of music, trying to place the song and that’s exactly what I did with the below track. Paul Weller sang the version I first heard, but this Skunk Anansie version….it’s stunning….plus it’s sung by a woman who completely kicks ass 😉 This song does something to me and I hope it does something to you too x
